Gun control

 Prayers. But no serious gun control legislation.

Outrage. But no serious gun control legislation.

Mass killings. But no serious gun control legislation.

Policemen dead. But no serious gun control legislation.

Unctuous empathy. But no serious gun control legislation.

Extensive press coverage. But no serious gun control legislation.

Lots of commentary. But no serious gun control legislation.

Politicians chime in. But no serious gun control legislation.

Words from the pulpit. But no serious gun control legislation.

Citizens in fear. But no serious gun control legislation.

Flags at half mast. But no serious gun control legislation.

Families grieving. But no serious gun control legislation.

Staunch activism. But no serious gun control legislation.

The same old same old in America.
